Closed Date (Accounts)

Closed Date is the date the account or group was closed. When blank, the account or group is considered open. You can enter current or previous dates.

This date will be shown in the Closed Date column for saved searches and it also determines what you see on the Accounts page views. When you create an Accounts page view, you can choose whether or not to show closed accounts, or you can show the closed accounts only when they are members of a group.

When you enter a closed date for an account, a confirmation request warns you that if you continue, the account's value—and the value of all manual security positions in the account—will be set to $0 as of the closed date. You'll also see a confirmation when you re-open an account, and you'll see warnings in the upload status when closed dates are changed through a data upload. For more information on re-opening an account, see Re-Open a Closed Account.

To see accounts that are closed but still receiving custodian information, you can review the Closed and Linked Accounts daily report available on the FTP site.

Closed Date on Reports

For dynamic reports, you will automatically see account data for accounts that were active within any part of the reporting period, even if the account closed before the end of the reporting period.

For PDF reports, you will not automatically see data for any accounts that closed within the reporting period. For more information on closed accounts, view Show Returns for Closed Accounts.

Partial Ownership Accounts and Closed Date

For partial ownership accounts, the closed date is inherited from the parent account if you enter a date that is later than the parent account's closed date, or if you leave this field blank.

For more information on editing accounts, including how to navigate to this panel, see Maintaining Accounts.
